Plant Characteristics:
Hedgerows Gold Variegated Red-Twig Dogwood will grow to be about 6 feet tall at maturity, with a spread
of 6 feet. It tends to fill out right to the ground and therefore doesn't necessarily require facer plants in
front, and is suitable for planting under power lines. It grows at a fast rate, and under ideal conditions can
be expected to live for approximately 20 years.
This shrub does best in full sun to partial shade. It is an amazingly adaptable plant, tolerating both dry
conditions and even some standing water. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is highly tolerant of
urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments.
This is a selection of a native North American species.
